Ollie watkins (£ 6.5m) leads Aston Villa’s attack for their first match of Double Gameweek 26: a trip to Leeds.
Any rumors before the deadline about an injury to the striker were mitigated as he was named on the team sheet this afternoon.
However, Dean Smith has still modified his Villa side, moving to a 4-3-3 involving a fall to the bench for Ross Barkley (£ 5.9m), which has failed to impress of late.
Anwar El Ghazi (£ 5.3 million) and Bertrand traore (£ 5.9m) flank Watkins as Jacob ramsey (4.5 million pounds sterling), Wonderful Nakamba (£ 4.3 million) and John McGinn (£ 5.5 million) make up the central midfield trio.
Matt Targett (£ 4.9m) is the trendiest member of Villa’s back-four with 13.4% ownership, while 0.4% ownership Ahmed El Mohamady (£ 4.3 million) offers a differential path to the rear right.
Leeds assets can only have one match at Double Gameweek 26, but they enter the round full of confidence.
Marcelo Bielsa makes just one change from the win over Southampton, allowing himself the lineup that won the second half 3-0 on Monday night.
Hélder Costa (£ 5.0m) comes for Jack Harrison (£ 5.5 million) on the left side of midfield while Pascal Struijk (£ 4.0m) continues in the holding role.
Patrick Bamford (£ 6.9 million) remains in 52.7% of Fantasy Premier League teams worldwide, Stuart dallas (£ 5.0 million) still backed by 21.0%.
Double Gameweek 26 lineups
Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Dallas, Cooper, Llorente, Ayling; Struijk; Costa, Roberts, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.
Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Martinez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; Ramsey, Nakamba, McGinn; El Ghazi, Watkins, B Traoré.
Double week of play 26 so far …
West Bromwich Albion posted a much-needed second clean sheet of the season by beating Brighton 1-0.
Crucially, he turns into consecutive shutouts for the first time this season, good news for those who invested in out-of-position ones. Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£ 4.6 million) for Double Gameweek 26.
The Arsenal loan fan was deployed on the right flank of the offensive midfield once again and enjoyed a decent first-half scoring opportunity.
Still, it was an interesting afternoon for Sam johnstone (£ 4.5 million) owners. They benefited from the Baggies’ clean sheet and also secured a series of extras, two for saves and two (provisional) bonuses.
However, his Double Gameweek 26 score could have already been close to 20 points if Brighton’s penalties had gone differently on Saturday.
Pascal Groß (£ 5.8 million) and Danny Welbeck (£ 5.5m), both missed pitches but each hit wood, denying Johnstone a chance to win a fantasy reward in each case.
